We have had it confirmed tonight that Barney is very ill. The blood-sugar level in his urine is sky high and we’re one positive test away from a definite diagnosis of diabetes. He’s been unwell now for sometime with an enlarged liver and suspected cushings disease, the list is endless.

The vet wanted him to be kept there tonight but we weren’t having that. He would have stressed out even more. It’s better that he be in his own home with us. Back to the vets first thing tomorrow for more tests and a serious talk about what next.

He’s already been suffering in silence, it would appear. He’s always been the same, so stoic. He never ever allows you to know just how he really is! We don’t think there’s a great lot more to be said only he will not be kept going just because it’s what’s expected.

That’s all we can tell you for now. Update tomorrow.
